It’s Just Gross

By MarketBeat Staff

Steven Russolillo writes:

“Am I the only one irritated by the fawning treatment given Pimco’s Bill Gross and his commentary?” Paul Kedrosky asks. Gross calls for fiscal policies that “open up the balance sheet of the Treasury” to prevent a continuing asset and debt liquidation of “near historic proportions.” Kedrosky says Gross’ threat of a bond buyer’s strike is “deliriously self-serving. He is into mortgage-backed bonds and Fannie/Freddie up to his neck, and now he wants Treasury to bail him out or he’ll stop buying? How lovely.”

Despite some underwhelming blog reviews on the debut of Microsoft’s $300 million ad campaign, Michael Arrington at TechCrunch says one thing’s for sure — the ad has sparked conversation, which is one of the software giant’s goals. In an email from Microsoft Senior Vice President Bill Veghte to employees, and obtained by Arrington, Veghte says the first phase of the campaign “is designed to engage consumers and spark a new conversation about Windows – a conversation that will evolve as the campaign progresses, but will always be marked by humor and humanity.”
